Product Specifications
- Craftsmanship: This finely crafted Orthodox icon of St. Demetrios of Thessaloniki is created using the traditional lithography technique, featuring a double varnish layer for water resistance and long-lasting durability. Handmade artificial aging enhances its timeless beauty, reflecting the sacred artistry of Byzantine iconography. The artisan behind this piece learned the canon of iconography in the workshops of the Monasteries of Mount Athos, mastering both lithography and the delicate process of artificial aging.
- Display: This elegant Orthodox icon can be hung on a wall or placed on a flat surface, making it a meaningful addition to any sacred space or prayer corner. It is a powerful reminder of courage, faith, and victory in Christ.
The Significance of Saint Demetrius
St. Demetrios (270–306 AD) is one of the most beloved military saints of the Orthodox Church. Born into a noble family in Thessaloniki, he became a high-ranking officer in the Roman army. Despite his prestigious position, he devoted his life to Christ, spreading the Gospel and converting many to Christianity. Arrested and martyred for his faith, his steadfast devotion earned him the title of Great Martyr and Myrrh-Streamer. His relics, known for producing fragrant myrrh, are enshrined in Thessaloniki, where he is honored as the city’s patron saint. His feast day is celebrated on October 26th.
In Byzantine iconography, St. Demetrios is typically depicted in military attire, symbolizing his role as both a soldier of the Roman Empire and a soldier of Christ. He may appear standing or mounted on horseback, embodying the triumph of faith over persecution.

We make them to be lived with: held in prayer, hung in a quiet corner, passed on.
